Project E: Tencent RPG tries to raise the standard on Android and iOS

Lately, mobile RPGs launched in China are increasingly impressive. Tencent’s Project E seeks to break away from traditional MMO models and focus more on the story and character development.

They talk a lot about redefining the genre, but to me, it’s more like something in the vein of Darkness Rises and other RPGs Online. But without so many automatic options. Check out some of this Gaming Mobile exclusive gameplay.

Project E was having its first alpha test last month. The gameplay is hack’n slash with an open world to explore. However, the game is not an MMO.

There are only 2 classes available in the alpha version – one with spades (melee) and one with weapons (ranged). You can choose your character genre as well as modify the appearance of your character using a huge variety of customization options. According to another player who has tested the game, you can choose dialogues that will later decide on your character’s personality.

Project E is still in development, which means that the gameplay you see here is still not the ultimate gameplay. I hope we can see more of their gameplay and details soon! And not just Chinese.
